[[File:Tatenokai.png]] Tatenokai, or Shield Society (1968-1970), was a private militia formed by author [[File:LGBTShowa.png]] Yukio Mishima. Mishima was very proud of the traditional culture of Japan, and opposed western-style materialism, [[File:World.png]] globalism, and [[File:commie.png]] communism, worrying that by embracing these ideas the Japanese people would lose their distinctive cultural heritage to become a "rootless" people. On 25 November 1970, Mishima and four members of his militia entered a military base in central Tokyo, took its commandant hostage, and unsuccessfully tried to inspire the Japan Self-Defense Forces to rise up and overthrow [[File:Cball-Japanrawr.png]] Japan's 1947 Constitution. After his speech and screaming of "Long live the Emperor!", he committed seppuku.
